A New Postmaster.

MT. James A. Canavan has been appointed postmaster for St.Joseph, vice L.J. Merchant, removed. The news came by telegraph Thursday night and has created widespread comment. The change is variously received, with satisfaction by the Democrats and with resignation by the Republicans, who feel that if change had to be made the appointment is good one. MT. Canavan is an old and respected merchant. He IS really the head and front of the Democracy in this vicinity and will no doubt make a painstaking post master. It is safe to remark that no charges were made against MT. Merchant, who has been an excellent and popular official.
 The above is from the Daily Palladium of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Ex-Postmaster Merchant is well remembered by many friends in this city, where he resided twenty years ago. He is proprietor of the St. Joseph's s Traveller, prosperous weekly. He was sub scription agent for the New Haven Palladium for several years just prior to his going to Michigan. He also for some time during the war published , little sheet for the benefit of the soldiers at the New Haven hospital, which was then known as the Knight hospital and was at the time depot for invalid soldiers.

IRISH QUESTIONS.
The Commons Refuses Parnelrs Request for
Immediate Discussion.

The Commons Refuses Parnelrs Request for
Immediate Discussion.
LONDON, Feb 17.-In the Commons Mr. Par
nell asked for time in which to discuss his pro-
posal to admit lease-holders to the benefit of the
land act of 1884, and moved that the rules of pro-
cedure be not considered until after the govern
ment dscloses The nature of its proposed legisla-
tion for Ireland. He was, he said not disposed to
surrender the interests of Ireland in order to
give precedence to the rules of procedure In
terruption, for such cause, of debate on the ad-
dress replying to the Queens speech was unpre-
cedanted. The affairs of Ireland were too crit
ical thus to be put aside. The Westuort board
of guardians had notified the Chief Secretary for
Ireland of the intended eviction of 900 persons
while the Earl of Cork was asking for extraordi-
nary police assistance in enforcing evictions in
another part of Ireland. At such time as this
he asked, were Irish members to be debarred
from submitting the grievances of their con-
stituents9
Mr.. Smith said the proceedings during the last
three weeks had shown that it was useless to
discuss Irish questions until the rules of pro-
cedure were settled.
Mr.. Parnells amendment was then voted upon
and rejected-242 to 107.
Mr.. Smith answered that the precedence of
rules OF procedure would begin on Monday next.
Mr. Dillon complained of the removal OF the
venue of his trial He proceeded to refer to
the panel Of jurors summoned, when the Speaker

cratic Senators. will in no way embarrass the
Senator-elect when the time comes for taking his
seat, but it may be added the reference of the
credentials is out of the usual order. The prac-
tice is, when Senator'S right to seat is not to
be questioned. his credentials lie upon the Vice
presidents table until he appears to take tho
oath of Office The very fact that the elections
committee have the credentials is prima facie
proof that they are to be challenged.
Republican Senators say that it is very prob
able that majority Of the committee on privi-
leges and elections will shortly report to the Seu-
ate that the credentials presented to-day for
David Turpie to succeed Benjamin HARRISON OF
Indiana, were issued in irregular form. and that
the case calls for an investigation. and that the
committee will ask for authority to send for per-
sons and papers and conduct investigation
into the election Of Mr. Turpie. Inasmuch as
this work will probably not be begun until the
Senate reccnvenes after the holidays in January
next, it is believed that final report will not be
received for action by the full Senate under q
year or fourteen months, and that vacancy will
exist in the Office for that length OF time. Re-
publicans say further. in the event that the cre>
dentials OF Mr. Turpie are finally rejected by the
Senate, Governor Gray will appoint, and that
his power to do vill be challenged by the Sen
ate on the groun tthe constitution of Indi-
ana forbids the appo. atment of United States
Senator to fill q vacancy created during the ees-
sion of the Legislature. Should this be success
full a vacancy will of course exist in the Office
until the Legislarn- 1eets in January, 1889.

THE PENSION VETO.

The Administration Hard at Work to Pre-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb Ill is reported that the
President is using every exertion to prevent
Congress from passing the dependent parents
pension bill. over his veto. and that he is sending
for his supporters in both houses and asking
them to sustain him. 1t is generally believed
that the bill will receive the necessary two-thrds
vote pass it if it is reported from Colonel Mat
sons committee on invalid pensions. Under the
caption Sustain the Veto," this mornings Post,
the ADMINISTRATORS organ, has, in double leads,
this editorial, which, it is said, inspired at
the White House:
The House has made up its mind to fight the
Presidents veto of the pauper pension bill, and
the Senate will follow suit. In acting on the
bill, party considerations should entirely disap-
pear, for it would seem as if the welfare of the
country were sufficient test OF the merits OF
such a measure. The bill should be tabled for
every reason. 1t offers a premium for lazeness;
it offers a temptation for perjury and fraud; 1t
fixes penalty on self denial and self respect:
II passed, il would extinguish our surplus If
times the size of the standing army of Great
Britain If passed, it would prevent reduction
of the war tariff and internal revenue from spir-
| its and tobacco. 1t is a device of demagogues
for relief of shirks. The Democrats of the Sem
| ate and House ought to present an unbroken
front in support OF the veto, and the Republic
